Macedonian: a Course for Beginning and Intermediate Students

Macedonian: a Course for Beginning and Intermediate Students

by Christina E . Kramer (Author), Liljana Mitkovska (Author)

Synopsis

Macedonian, the official language of the Republic of Macedonia, is spoken by two and a half million people in the Balkans, North America, Australia, and other emigre communities around the world. Christina E. Kramer's award-winning textbook provides a basic introduction to the language. Students will learn to speak, read, write, and understand Macedonian while discussing family, work, recreation, music, food, health, housing, travel, and other topics.
Intended to cover one year of intensive study, this third edition updates the vocabulary, adds material to help students appreciate the underlying structure of the language, and offers a wide variety of new, proficiency-based readings and exercises to boost knowledge of Macedonian history, culture, literature, folklore, and traditions.
